Ranorex Forum

Can I somehow use "Validate" to validate the contents of a string, and NOT of a Ranorex object? I need to verify that each line of an XML document has the expected text.

So basically, I end up with 2 strings:
------------------------------------------
string expectedString = "US";
string fromXML = xmlDoc.SelectSingleNode("blabla", nameSpaceMgr).InnerText;

Now I simply need to verify that the 2 strings match.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Validate.??????(expectedString, fromXML); //How do I validate that they match?

Of course I can do If/Else, or using C#'s string.Compare, but this is not ideal, because:
* I have to verify a long document, so it would be more maintainable to have one-liner code for each validation.
* I also need the Ranorex script to fail if it does NOT match, so a Validate of some sort would make that easy to reduce lines of code for each check too.


Thanks!

Hi,

to validate if two string are equal you can use following method:
AreEqual(Object, Object)

You code should look something like this:

string expectedString = "US";
string fromXML = xmlDoc.SelectSingleNode("blabla", nameSpaceMgr).InnerText;
Validate.AreEqual(expectedString, fromXML);
